Description: Living Ethics: An Introduction with Readings is an ideal all-in-one resource for courses in introduction to ethics and contemporary moral problems. In this hybrid textbook/reader, Russ Shafer-Landau brings moral theory and contemporary moral issues to life with a comprehensive and balanced set of readings, uniquely engaging explanations, and clear analysis of arguments. The book balances coverage of moral reasoning (in Part 1) with highly relevant contemporary moral problems (in Part 2).
Review Quotes: "I love the 'cases for critical thinking'. My favorite part of the book by far. Some of them hit the students hard and we get whole classes talking about one of them and it's great. I admire Dr. Shafer-Landau as a philosopher, I've heard him speak and know his work, and I think he has created a very good book, which is why I adopted it and used it."--Brian Baer
"iLiving Ethics/i is comprehensive (covering moral theory and applied ethics), and it's well-edited and scholarly. I think this textbook is the best in its class."- -Jeffrey Brown, University of Northern Colorado
